He's on a pretty paltry salary

The Telegraph reported last month that Chilwell only earns £800-a-week. To put that into context, Cristiano Ronaldo earns that amount every millisecond. Or something like that anyway. Basically, it's not much by footballers' standards.

Leicester are offering Chilwell a new contract to reflect his impressive performances, which would take his wage up to around £2,500 a week.

Arsenal aren't the only club interested

Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are also admirers but Arsenal’s interest is the most advanced.

He was a star at youth level

Chilwell came through the Leicester academy and won the club's Academy Player of the Year award for the 2014–15 season.

In recognition of his progress, Ranieri selected Chilwell was selected for Leicester's pre-season tour last summer and handed the no 30 shirt.

Ranieri called it early

Last summer during Leicester's pre-season matches, the Leicester manager declared that Chilwell would become a 'fantastic player'.

After putting in an accomplished display in the 1-1 draw at Mansfield, Ranier said: "He is a very, very good player and he will be a fantastic player for Leicester City."

Midifelder Andy King echoed those sentiments.

Claudio Ranieri is well aware of Chilwell's potential

"If you speak to him, he will probably say that all the lads have been brilliant with him from when he came away to Austria," said King.

"The boys can see he has got bundles of ability and a real good chance of getting involved this season.

"He's got a good head on his shoulders as well, which makes a big difference for someone with his amount of ability."

Milton Keynes is where Chilwell was born

Yes, the UK's famed spiritual roundabout home is where the defender was born. Truth really is tsranger than fiction.
